Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the addition of acrylic latex at the beginning or during the emulsion polymerization reaction produces results similar to those experienced with the addition of colloidal activators used in the prior art.
That is, it is believed that the particles begin to aggregate immediately after formation, which reduces the number of particles at the beginning of the reaction, resulting in an extremely long reaction time. However, the inventors have found that high particle size synthetic rubber latex particles can actually be formed by the method of the present invention without requiring long reaction times. While not intending to limit the invention by the following description, the inventors have discovered that the majority of the monomers polymerize into small particles that have the advantage of high particle number kinetics, and that the reaction occurs after the particles have aggregated. We believe that this results in large particle size particles with reduced reaction time. It is also believed that the monomer swollen particles are softer and more deformable during aggregation, resulting in complete particle coalescence. Particle coalescence combined with the natural tendency to form spherical particles during polymerization completion results in the desired spherical particles.

The method of the present invention is characterized by the fact that acrylic latex-induced agglomeration is generally not sensitive to temperature and agitation rate, that the method does not induce bulk instability periods in the emulsion polymerization process, and that the polymerization reaction is extremely rapid when the acrylic latex is introduced. It is advantageous in that it occurs in It is also believed that the small particles that result after addition of the acrylic latex also aggregate. The agglomeration of these new particles by the acrylic latex results in a narrower particle size distribution than those produced by other polymerization/aggregation methods. The reduction in total surface area when particles agglomerate results in desorption of the soap, which usually results in the formation of new small particles unless reaction conditions prevent it.
